- The visitors bumped the score to 2-0 in the 20th minute after Frost broke away up the right and blasted her third goal of the season past Attridge.
- It was the second half that saw Emerson balloon its lead and started midway through the frame when Haley redirected a pass from Noble past Caldwell with the score now at 3-0.

- Van Pelt nearly tacked on a goal of her own to bump the lead to six, but Caldwell was there to make the stop.
